Whether your child is graduating from high school or from college, used car buying tips can be helpful when choosing just the right pre-owned car for your new grad!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
First and most important is to get some input from your grad-to-be.\u00a0 Just like buying a pet for a significant other, it\u2019s good to know if you\u2019re buying for a cat-lover or a cat-hater before you bring it home with a bow!<\/p>\n
If you want it to be a surprise, there are ways to get the info you need: point out cars the next time you\u2019re on a drive with comments like \u201cThat Honda looks pretty good\u2026what do you think?\u201d or \u201cIf you were going to buy another car, what would it be?\u201d<\/p>\n
Second, once you\u2019ve narrowed your choices, start ranking them in terms of safety \u2013 focusing on those that have high crash ratings and safety marks from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) or from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).<\/p>\n
Third, check out Consumer Reports, Edmunds, and other reviews for information about the reliability of the used car.\u00a0 This is definitely something worth checking, especially for college-bound graduates who are moving away from home.<\/p>\n
Fourth, look for a fuel-efficient vehicle.\u00a0 Even though gas prices have fallen over the last year, one hiccup in the Middle East can change that overnight. Bear in mind that four-cylinder engines typically (but not always) offer the best fuel economy.<\/p>\n
Fifth, check insurance rates on the models you\u2019re considering.\u00a0 Whether you\u2019re picking up the insurance tab or they are, it\u2019s good to know before you buy.<\/p>\n
